The online shoe shopping flame has been reignited

Thursday 27 June 2013
Whilst I have been recovering from my Skankle Ankle surgery for the past 8 weeks, I have really gone off buying shoes :(

To get me back in the shoe admiring and buying arena, I decided to revisit Shoe me Gorgeous (featured in a previous blog here). Never a doubt in my mind that this shoe admirer wouldn't be able to get me back on the wagon, and now that I have lost 17kgs it was going to be easier hehehe.





After a quick peruse, I ended up with two pairs of shoes, and two days later they were on my hot little feet (beautifully packaged yet again with shoe shaped confetti and tissue paper).






This re-dabble in online shoe shopping, introduced me to a Brazilian brand called Vizzano and after trying to negotiate their Portuguese website on an IPad it made me thankful that places like Shoe Me Gorgeous are opening up the world to Australian shoe lovers. The shoes are a stunning peacock blue colour with a platform on the front, which to my delight has an extra piece so the platform isn't a round edge, only once my ankle is recovered 100% would I attempt a rounded platform. There are pics below, what do you think of the colour and style of the platform, do you all understand what I mean about a 'rounded' platform?
Despite the height and my nervous ankle, they are possibly one of the most comfy pairs of platform stilettos I have worn.
It is apparent to me that Brazilians know much more than just feathers and shaking their booty, and for my boyfriends pleasure / amusement I tested the heels in a bootylicious booty shaking dance that I have seen in many of pitbull's film clips - I think I was Beyonce in a previous life haha.
 

















Check out the other hot heels I received - they are stunning and got rave reviews when I wore them to the dentist yesterday hehe.


Be sure to keep your eye on Shoe Me Gorgeous' facebook page and website, there is a new shipment of Vizzano shoes heading down under in a few weeks :D

Driving in Heels - Yes or No?

Thursday 20 June 2013
Bonjour readers!

Who has seen this Ford Fiesta TV advertisement?

When I first saw it I was pleased but it also annoyed me, and I will tell you why.

Likes
I really love when marketing teams use high heels, shoes etc in their campaigns, it genuinely brings a smile to my face.
I think zebra print is hot.
Basing an entire car advertisement on a shoe compartment, not one mention of engine specs or the inside space - unreal!

Dislikes
At 3 seconds, the female says "Hot heeled wedges" the shoes she is holding are clearly platform stilettos.
At 17 seconds, the female says "Pink runners", they are black with vermillion laces.
At 18 seconds, a further mention of wedges!


It made me think, how many people actually cannot drive in heels? or just prefer flats? It is more likely for me to stall my car when I am wearing flats vs heels. Is anyone else the same?

Let me know your thoughts!
